DLocal Ltd (NASDAQ: DLO)
On November 16, 2022, Muddy Waters Capital LLC (“Muddy Waters”) published a research report concluding that DLocal “is likely a fraud.” Muddy Waters alleges that DLocal has repeated disclosures about its Total Processing Volume and accounts receivable “that flatly contradict one another” and that there is “a contradictory discrepancy between two key subsidiaries’ accounts payable and accounts receivable.” Muddy Waters also alleges that DLocal engaged in multiple misrepresentations to disguise the timing and the source of funding for an insider option exercise.
On this news, DLocal’s share price fell $10.76, or more than 50%, to close at $10.46 per share on November 16, 2022, thereby injuring investors.

Welltower Inc. (NYSE: WELL)
The investigation focuses on whether the Company issued false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose relevant information to investors. Welltower is the subject of a report issued by Hindenburg Research on December 7, 2022. The report, titled, “Welltower: Exposing The Shell Game,” claims that the Company transferred the management of underperforming facilities to an undisclosed related party. According to the report, the new partner firm Integra “seems to barely exist. The entity was registered 6 months ago, according to Delaware corporate records. Its website was registered on the same day.” The report alleges that, “Integra’s CEO, 29-year-old David Gefner, appears to have no background in the skilled nursing space at all. Integra has no employees on LinkedIn except for Gefner, who claims to have worked at the 6-month -old entity for 11 months.”
Based on this report, shares of Welltower have dropped by more than 5% in intraday trading on the same day.
